Bass Fishing Day On The Water! BIG LARGEMOUTH In Post Frontal, Cold, Windy Conditions!

Jump in the Skeeter with Tim for a great day of fishing! He's facing post frontal, windy conditions, but that won't stop him! Watch how he starts with a plan, then adapts to the changing conditions. Between the wind, the cold, the clouds, and the constant change, he manages to catch a great limit of fish, including a great big largemouth kicker!

These are the days when our fishing skills are tested. The fish aren't cooperating with Tim's plan, but he adapts and overcomes. By switching to slower moving, smaller presentations, he's able to coax a few fish into biting. He didn't get a ton of bites, but every bite resulted in a quality fish. The Keitech and the Spark Shad were the ticket today, but that jerkbait came in clutch as well.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact bait colors, weights, etc. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
